Thanks Zabac for the advice. Where would I be able find that information on what he did? Can you search a person's posts here? Makes sense about the hood being sealed in the back. I am not having heating problems per se, but I do see a rise in water temps on really hot days, just wanted to do something more or less preventative. I am going to do the coolant re-route and add an oil cooler.
